Earthwise Aware at the Growing Center
Earthwise Aware (EwA) project questions are centered around working toward a better understanding of the timing and life stage changes (phenology) within species, phenological comparisons among species, and the relationship of phenological stages between species, particularly as they relate to changes in weather and climate. As part of the effort to address these inquiries, EwA conducts weekly surveys and collects data to contribute to follow the phenology of woody and herbaceous perennial species, the presence of pollinating species, and the specific interactions of important pollinators and their plant hosts at the Growing Center.
To date, for 2025, EwA participatory scientists have collected over 14,000 data points that reflect the phenophase (life stage) on 9 native tree species and 11 native herbaceous perennials, and phenophase and behavior of 13 important bee and butterfly species. In addition, EwA collects in-depth data using the EwA Buggy app, recording precise interactions between various pollinating species and the host plants that they visit. The team logged ~300 of these interactions in July alone!
One of our favorite observations made during our monitoring this summer was a female monarch (Danaus plexipess), laying eggs on common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca). Seeing this iconic, vital pollinator is always a thrill! Images below show this adult female and a caterpillar.

It's impressive that volunteers logged over 14,000 data points this year, and the monarch sighting sounds like a lovely moment. Community science like this really does add up. her trees
What makes the I Know What You Did Last Summer Black Coat interesting is the combination of movie-inspired design and practical fashion. It feels like a piece made for collectors, cosplay fans, and anyone looking for something different from regular coats.
Good information here for anyone dealing with connectivity problems. When Cox outages occur, knowing whether the issue affects the wider service or only your equipment can make troubleshooting easier. The information also provides practical guidance for identifying common Cox router and internet connection problems.
It is wonderful to see local youth engaging with nature through these field trips. Much like the focus required for ジオメトリーダッシュ</a>, these children are developing great coordination and observation skills outdoors. Exploring gardens and learning about biodiversity is a fantastic way to spend the summer months together.
Downloadable gaming platforms online often become irritating because they repeatedly show loading interruptions during installation sessions from mobile devices every single day recently. Thankfully, Jalwa Game download still remained stable while I explored menus and checked features online yesterday evening.
